'Offline beer' glass stops drinkers using their phones

YOU all have that friend who can't stop checking their phone, whether they're out having drinks with friends or sitting down to a nice dinner.

The reason I know this is because that friend is me.

I have serious FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). The need to constantly have my finger on the pulse has ruined my social life. My friends hate hanging out with me and my husband thinks I'm having a secret love-affair online.

But now, there might finally be a device that can save me from myself.

It doesn't have any buttons. Or a touchscreen.

In fact it's totally manual.

It's a beer glass. And unless I want to spill my beer everywhere I have to use my phone as a coaster.

It's called the "Offline Beer Glass" and it was designed by Brazilian ad agency Fischer & Friends to discourage anti-social behaviour.

The glass basically looks like it has been given a thick heel, which unless is balanced out with a second platform, will fall and spill beer all over the place.

The phone slides in underneath it, allowing it to sit normally on a table.

The beer glass was unveiled at Salve Jorge bar in Brazil's biggest city, Sao Paulo to help drinkers put down their mobile phones and start enjoying their festivities.

Watch the video above to see how the glass works.

The good people at Jorge Bar haven't said what happens when people drink too much and knock their glasses over, spilling beer all over their phones.

Hope Salve Jorge has a good insurance policy. They're going to need it!
